Now as for your 3 choices...If you buy a Nook, you will be locking yourself into always having to purchase from B&N. If you decide that you want a Sony later on, you will NOT be able to transfer any of your DRM books purchased from B&N onto your Sony reader.

I have a Sony PRS-600 & love it. I am not locked into Sony for books, I haven't bought one from them yet. You will be able to buy books from any online store that sells epubs & pdfs that utilize Adobe Digital Editions. (With the exception of B&N)

I couldn't care less about wifi, and from what I hear it drains the battery pretty quickly. I'm not in such a hurry that I can't wait to download my book to my pc (where I can back it up) and sideload it onto my reader. Nor do I really want the distraction of emails or anything else when I am reading.

So just pick a reader that you'll be happy with & get to reading.

ok this full of misinformation. The Nook supports epub and you can actually buy books from wait for it...........Sony's bookstore as well, from Fictionwise, Kobo/Borders, lend books from your local library as WeLL as having BN as your platform bookstore.


as far as your concern about it's weight. Well it weighs 11 oz, about the same as 400 page Tradepaperback. It's light trust me. Is it heavier than the Kobo or sony sure but that doesn't make it heavy. 11 oz is light.


the wireless is wonderful. Sony's are pretty nice as well but they just don't get it pricing wise. They really don't they are waaay overpriced as compared to what is out there.
I don't understand that company.
